Tailored for would-be investors trying to decide on the most suitable industrial park for their investments, Building a Successful Plant in China offers the most up-to-date information on more than 200 industrial parks in China. The Guide offers a unique rating system for industrial parks, enabling investors to pick the industrial park that best suits their business needs. The Guide comprises three sections. In Section One, the Guide delves into China's macro- and micro-economy. China's flourishing key industries such as the IC, Automobile and Energy industries are explored and discussed. Chapters in this section are geared towards enabling the investor to better understand China's general investment environment, as well as the business climate in its municipalities and provinces.

Within the chapters, a brief description and vital economic statistics are given of the particular province or municipality. The chapters then unfold with discussions of the industrial parks that are found within the province/ municipality. Unique to this Guide is a rating system that assesses each individual industrial park based on the following five main factors: >1. Locational advantage & macroeconomic performance of the host city (i.e. GDP & GDP growth rate of the host city, fixed asset investment etc); >2. Development of the industrial park (i.e. infrastructure development, GDP & GDP growth rate of the industrial park, accumulated FDI, living standards, etc); >3. Costs of investment (i.e. land costs, electricity & other utilities, employment wages etc); >4. Skill levels & availability of human resources; >5. Management & services (i.e. efficiency and quality of the administrative body, promotion of investment etc). Finally, Section Three consists of a directory listing of important contact numbers ranging from useful hotline numbers, to government bodies to administrative committees of industrial parks.
